This Jigsaw Puzzle game requires that your browser supports the HTML5 <canvas> element. See Wikipedia for information on which browsers support the HTML5 <canvas> technology. Google code offers ExplorerCanvas to bring the functionality of the <canvas> tag to Internet Explorer, unfortunately, complex clipping regions are not supported, a requirement for this software.

I would like to implement a seemless way for people to share their custom-made jigsaw puzzle with their friend. I am looking into this, I am at the start of the learning curve for OpenSocial stuff.

This is a great piece of work by Raymond Hill. We have adapted it to work on our site. In the past we have used Java Applets and Flash and as both of those
became laden with security flaws we were looking to provide a better option and this is perfect. I wish I could shars my minor changes but they are strickly for
this site and of no value to anyone else. Thanks for comming to our site. I hope you will continue to enjoy it and please use our submit form to make any replies.

He started this project as an experiment with the HTML5 canvas element.
It grew a bit bigger than what he had imagined, as he kept adding features, just for the fun and challenge of dealing with geometrical concepts.
Also, for jigsaw puzzle fans out there, He is just happy to enable you to create your own puzzle, small or big, easy or hard, and with no strings attached (no ads, no questions asked, etc.)

He is currently working on the next release in which he would like to allow fancy tiling.
